long ago gave up the healthy habit of surrender to the rally of my friends in my posts, but I can not recommend you stop the chronic Anderson wrote in his Izagirre blog during his trip to Bolivia.
I think most of you know who Anderson (San Sebastián, 1976), journalist and travel writer I knew that Lucia following send us read his wonderful career (and literally hot) book Basements world. Three years later I can boast to my friends, both bloggers and earthly.
Thanks to your blog, have been participants in their wanderings in Bolivia. We had even felt it, or at least intuit what he felt. I imagined him dazed but very funny amid the din of popular assemblies , deeply dismayed to know Abigail, a teenager of 14 years working in the mines under exploitative conditions, enjoying a football game funny indigenous women ... Whole emotional earthquake I hope we can count on at length when he recovers.
While we wait to see published reports in the press, I leave you with the history of these players give tit Guarani between goal and goal. I like it because, while denouncing the plight of the Guarani women, it is especially their ability to organize, illusions and enjoy. The photo also pulled the journalist Daniel Burgui , Ander travel companion, who has the game and more in his blog .
To distract us from what you know
The game between the teams and Boyuibe Urundaiti delayed a few minutes: Susana, one of the players, is behind the corner breast feeding your baby ( behold this picture of Dani ).
Susana, Guarani 25-year-old mother of six, finally jumps to the field and settled on the edge of his area, where it will pass or a ball the whole game: a central defender impassable. The field is a vast expanse of land irregular, clear in the middle of the village Urundaiti Guarani in the Bolivian Chaco.
( More photos of the party, also Dani ).
The party suffered another slight delay: Coach Carlos says that three of the players Urundaiti are pregnant and should not participate. Reorganization of the team. Some obese women about 35 years wear the kit and take the field in place of pregnant women. Beside them women play 25 or 26 years with half a dozen children each and up to a 14-year-old has also been nursing her baby a few minutes before the game.
Computers and games are organized by Momim (Movement of indigenous women in the world), a partnership led by the inexhaustible Margoth Segovia, who has spent years fighting to improve the lives of women in the Chaco. In a society such as Guarani, which according Margoth is extremely sexist, and whose families often work as bonded to large landowners in the area, women have little opportunity to develop any trade or any hobby. There are plenty of abuse, alcoholism, men, violence in homes, abandoned women with lots of children or the total subordination to husbands. Even those who do not have those problems have little time for anything else to look after the children and keep house.
"We gather to enjoy all sports together Margoth says the players of both teams, in the little speech before the game. It is not played to death. We want lasting friendship, respect and solidarity among all of us. Playing sports to distract us from what you know.
English Dr. Pilar Mateo (inventor of a special paint that kills vinchucas, transmission of Chagas disease) and Margoth Segovia led a partnership in offering courses to teach trades to women, offer legal advice on domestic problems and so they know their rights, organized a weekly radio program and to organize football tournaments.
Yobinka Guzman Boyuibe team goalkeeper, has 29 years, four children and an adopted nephew at home. Every day she gets up at six o'clock, gives milk to her little boy of 2 years, prepares breakfast for the older children and goes to work: is a teacher in a school in the village Guarani Pueblo Nuevo, which serves children from 2 to 4 years. At noon prepares food for his family and arranged for the children to go to school in the afternoon. Then take several hours to clean the clothes and the house. And at night go to the football team training.
"I sleep as if dead," he says, laughing.
(Goals and best plays, pregnant women who dream of giving birth in time to participate in the Donosti Cup 2010 and the player who suffocated in a tit cold calls break to breastfeed her baby will appear in the report that I hope to publish more or less soon).
